Each Day Already is a Challenge
A Texas Sunrise

Sunrise on Surfside Beach, Texas

A friend, William Taylor, took this picture. He visits Surfside Beach with his dogs almost every morning, watching the sun rise while the dogs prance about at the water's edge.

This is only about ten miles from where I lived in Lake Jackson, Texas. Sadly, I only visited this beach about four times in the six years I lived nearby.




Each day is a challenge. A challenge to get by without thinking about the fibromyalgia pains. A challenge to stay awake when chronic fatigure wants to take over. And a challenge to navigate through fibro fog.

I haven't been writing as much as in the past. For years, I wrote at least 500 words a day. Now, I'm lucky if I write 500 words in month. Sigh.

For more information about what my day (or life) is all about with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, chronic pains, IBS, depression and everything else thrown in, check this out:

My pain and welcome to it.

Hi all. Don't think I have much to say/write today. Yeah, right. As the fingers start a-typng that usually changes. *Smile*

It's been a bit of a lazy day. There is still so much I could/should be doing to get rid of boxes in the living room. I have just about completed washing clothes that were in storage. I've tucked away most of the winter stuff - from storage and from here. Had to keep out enough to survive the next week or so. I can't believe how cold it's been for April. And this morning when I went to get Derek from work THERE WAS SNOW ON THE CAR!!!!! This is wrong, wrong, wrong!

It's often hard for me to get stuff done on the weekends. I'll be up and ready to do things after getting Derek from work. But hubby wants to sleep in on his days off, so the bedroom is off limits unless I want to keep waking him.

Today, I had about a 90 minute nap myself. Now hubby is napping too. It would have been better if we could have coordinated the nap times. I didn't realize he had fallen asleep and took some clothes into the bedroom. I don't wake up very easily. But he surely does.

Anyway...

I found this quote today: When we cannot bear to be alone, it means we do not properly value the only companion we will have from birth to death-- ourselves. ~ Eda LeShan

I'm pondering that one.

Also, we got a catalog today for "progressives." I'm not sure which person in this household is supposed to be that. *Bigsmile* There were some funny and interesting items or sayings in it. And there were some that offended me. Guess that makes sense since I lean towards being conservative.

Here are a few:

I'm diagonally parked...in a parallel universe.

People never lie so much as after fishing, during war or before an election.

Not all who wander are lost.

You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.

Bumper sticker: I bet Jesus would have used HIS turn signals!
I bet he would have too!

Those who abandon their dreams will discourage yours.
Isn't that the truth?

I'm marching to a different accordion.
I love that one! I'm marching to a different accordion. Me too!!!

Don't get even. Get odd.

I have an idea. Let's cut down all the trees and name the streets after them.

The truly educated never graduate.

Our national health plan: Don't get sick.

It's easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. - Frederick Douglas

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. - Voltaire

If we don't protect freedom of speech, how will we know who the assholes are?

Everyone smiles in the same language.*Smile*


Hubby is up and about now, so I better get some stuff done that requires me to be in and out of the bedroom. Putting stuff away.

Later gators.
